The Kettle Is Hot In Troy

The Ballston Spa-based Whistling Kettle opened up its second location here in Troy on Broadway, and over the weekend I finally had the opportunity to nibble at some crepes with a taste of tea. I drink my tea black by the way, like my coffee, no honey. I always find it more satisfying to get the full flavor and essence. It was very busy that day, so service seemed a little backed up, it's a popular new place so I can understand. Once I got the tea and my ham and swiss maple panini, I was all set. I would recommend you take your time and choose your tea wisely, think about it, there's a lot to choose from. On the food side you will see the menu has crepes, paninis, salads, sandwiches, and, of course, tea. I also hear they offer a special gluten-free menu. Be sure to grab a sample of your favorite tea on your way out, and keep the kettle whistling at home.

Due to the ignorance of AVERAGE JOE, as usual telling the readers just where this place is, it is located on the North Side of Broadway, between Second and Third Streets, across from the Bank parking lot. Incidentally, I have patronized this place and find the review of it RIGHT ON.

Too many restaurant reviewers come with a big side dish of personal ego. Average Joe believes that satisfying his palate doesn't have to come with pretension. Going out and having a good meal in a friendly place is a great time that Joe looks forward too. Fine dining? Only if Joe can dress like he does for work. Keep the wine list and the glass too for that matter, Miller Lite in the bottle is most likely Joe's preference. The food at your restaurant should as good or better than what Joe's mom cooked for him, and certainly better than what Joe can whip up or grill himself. The prices should be fair, and Joe agrees that quality is better than quantity, but tasty and plentiful is a good thing too...
